Description
The conversion constants are not shown anywhere in the GUI. Also, the source of conversion constants should be exactly cited so users know how relevant the conversion constants are.
Because:
I have found that Convertidor calculates energy 1.602176634e-19 J = 0.99999958431566282198688 eV, that
is not in todays SI units. SI units states that elementary charge value is exactly 1.602 176 634 x 10-19 C with zero uncertainty (it is defining constant). Maybe you have used some obsolete value of elementary charge before SI redefinition in 2019?
Unfortunately this cause relative error of 4e-7 J/J, that is quite large and measurable error.
Also, Convertidor calculates 1 Wh = 3600.000000000076904510400000431623796058. Again this seems to me as utterly nonsense, but the value and source of conversion coefficient is unknown. However the error here is only in order 1E-14, that is unmeasurable. Yet why the software allows calculation to so many significant numbers eludes me absolutely.
I have used Convertidor version 1.3.0 from flathub.
